The study of a fluorescent indolin-3-one derivative is reported that, as opposed to its previously described congeners, selectively undergoes photoactivated ring-opening in apolar solvents. The excited state involved in this photoisomerization was partially deactivated by the formation of singlet oxygen. Cell studies revealed lipid droplet accumulation and efficient light-induced cytotoxicity.
